2.5 AC Power cord connection instructions
a)
PROFI CHARGER should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. PROFI CHARGER is equipped
with an electric cord having an equipment grounding-conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
b)
DANGER: NEVER ALTER AC CORD OR PLUG PROVIDED-IF IT WILL NOT FIT OUTLET, HAVE PROPER
OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. IMPROPER CONNECTION CAN RESULT IN THE
RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
c)
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure that:
- Pins on extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on PROFI CHARGER;
- Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
- Wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of PROFI CHARGER.
2.6 Profi Charger connection - Battery IN vehicle
a)
Before working on vehicle, firmly apply emergency brake and place gearshift to NEUTRAL - shift an
automatic transmission to P.
b)
Locate PROFI CHARGER as far away from battery as PROFI CHARGER cords permit and position AC
and DC cords to avoid stepping on or tripping over them and to prevent damage by hood, doors,
or moving engine parts.
c)
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and any other parts that can cause physical injury.
d)
Turn OFF all vehicle loads, including door lights, and correct any defects in car's electrical system
that may have caused low battery.
e)
Check polarity of battery posts. The POSITIVE (+) post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (–) post.
f)
Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to chassis. If negative post is grounded see step
g)
If positive post is grounded see step h.
h)
For negative-grounded vehicle, first connect POSITIVE (red) clamp from PROFI CHARGER to POSITIVE (+)
ungrounded post of battery. Then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to NEGATIVE (–) post of battery.
Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of frame or engine block. When disconnecting charger, turn switches OFF, disconnect AC cord, remove
clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from battery terminal.
For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from charger to NEGATIVE ungrounded
post of battery. Then connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery.

2.7 Profi charger connection - Battery NOT in vehicle
If necessary to remove battery from vehicle or equipment, always remove grounded terminal from battery first.
1.
Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (+) post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (–) post.
2.
Connect POSITIVE (RED) PROFI CHARGER clamp to POSITIVE (+) post of battery.
3.
Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) PROFI CHARGER clamp to NEGATIVE (–) post of battery.
